The Settlement provides $3.95 million to resolve a lawsuit on behalf of people who purchased an Extended Services Plan (“Protection Plan”) from Staples in New York between February 1, 2010 and August 31, 2013.

The lawsuit claims that Staples did not disclose that the Protection Plans required consumers to use the manufacturer’s warranty before obtaining any coverage under the Protection Plans. The lawsuit claims that consumers overpaid for the Protection Plans to the extent that the Protection Plans overlapped with the manufacturer’s warranty. Staples denies the claims alleged in the lawsuit.

The two sides disagree on how much money could have been won if the case went to trial and if the individuals who bought Protection Plans could have won at trial.
